A full meeting of the directors of the Gold Hills Exploration and Development Co. of Toronto (Ltd.) was held yesterday at the Queen's Hotel, Mr. H. M. Price, Quebec, D. L. Mather, Rat Portage, J. G. Bowes, Hamilton, John R. Minhinhick, London, having all come from a considerable distance to attend the meetmg, which was in all respects a most enthusiastic one. It was decided to advance the price of shares to 15c en the 1st of March. The advance is no doubt based on the fact that the directors have obtained most favorable reports from their consulting engineer relative to several properties under option in the Port Arthur and Rainy River districts, which will shortly be actively developed. It is also understood that Mr. J. B, McArthur, the Rossland director, has started prospectors to work in the great Lardeau district, where the Horne-Payne English syndicate have so extensively purchased, and which it is thought by the knowing ones, will more than rival Trail Creek in its richness. The experience and thorough knowledge of Mr, McArthur, of Rossland, and Mr. Mather, of Rat Portage, in their respective districts have been of great value to the company and its shareholders, as they are in a position to personally advise in all claims submitted to the board. This company is an exceedingly strong one, and the directors are men of well-known business ability and integrity. We there- fore do not hesitate to say that the stock is a goo^ investment.

The out- look was so bright, and the sale of the first issue so satisfactory, that the directors concluded to advance the price to 15 cts. on the first of March. Those who desire to obtain any of the remaining shares should send in their orders at once to secure allotment. — Maily Feb. 19th.
